An interesting quote from Edward Bulwer-Lytton. Interesting tidbit: most people with Asperger's syndrome are hypersensitive to instant and/or loud noises. The reason is due to our increased capability of our senses (smell, taste, feel, hear, see, etc.). Thunder and lightning are elements of nature that frighten most youths with this syndrome. I got used to these noises, but I remembered the experiences that I had to get here.
As someone diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, it has taken me many years to open up to the general public. And it has taken longer when I experienced the fallout of bad social relations, such as heartbreak and betrayal. So this blog has around two years of age, but this is its first post. It is time to introduce myself now that I've begun posting this blog to the entire internet. I have been a recluse for most of my life, especially during the years where my peers would socially mature in secondary school. I knew that something was odd about me due to the healthy dose of uncontrollable tics. I had no idea about that I would have an Autistic trait well into my adulthood. When I was officially diagnosed, I received the medical and psychological treatments in order to function in modern society. And it was in these years that I started having intimate friends, shared my heart, broke my heart, and became more inclusive in social events. The problem is that the treatments only go so far as most of the studies regarding this syndrome are still discovering new things.

Now, I could say that I am an
introvert and that I have remained withdrawn from society. On the other hand, I
grew up amongst an extrovert family and have that trait in my bloodline. So it
has been a clash between enjoying the comforts of a secluded life with the
grandeur and spectacle of the convivial life. It is through this mental turmoil
that I took advantage of the social media on the internet. It creates a social
atmosphere that also allows someone like me to enjoy the creature comforts of physical
exclusion. This allows me to open up to a community which I would have shied
away from in the physical ambient. With this said and under an ominous
thunderstorm, I hereby open my newest blog!
